Vaginal Yaymada Curschmann Spirali

Year 1997, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 40 - 41, 30.01.1997

Abstract

Curschmann spiralleri balgam yaymalarında kronik akciğer hastalıklarının ve sigara içiciliğinin patognomonik bir bulgusu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Vaginal smearde saptanması ise gene sigara içiciliğine veya ekstrensek orijine bağlanmaktadır. Bizim olgumuz 35 yaşında kadın hasta olup vaginal yaymasında spirallere tesadüfen rastlanmıştır. Etyolojiye dönük olarak pasif sigara içiciliği dışında bulgu saptanmamıştır.

Curschmann Spirals in Vaginal Smear

Year 1997, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 40 - 41, 30.01.1997

Abstract

Curschmann spirals in sputum smears are accepted as pathognomonic findings of chronic obstructive lung disease and/or heavy smoking. These spirals in vaginal smears are thought to be related to smoking and extrinsic origins. Our case is a 35 years old woman and spirals were found incidentally during a routine vaginal cytologic examination. We couldn’t find any clinical finding except passive heavy smoking.
